The United States with a population in
excess of 287 million people has onevote
in the United Nations General Assembly. There are 188 other members. Ofthese, 130 member nations have populations
less than 13 million people. Thatis
less than the State of Florida. Their vote is equal to that of the USA.

It gets worse; there are 31 nations with a
full vote that have less than ahalf
million people (500,000). Even our least populated State, Wyoming, hasmore people. These UN member nations have
the same vote as the US, China,India,
Russia, Great Britain Japan or any other major power in the world.Indeed, fourteen nations with less than
100,000 people have a vote equal toours.
They include Tuvalu (10,836), San Marino (26,937) and Liechtenstein(31,130).

The real power is in the UN Security
Council, composed of permanent members,Great
Britain, France, China, Russia, and the United States. All of them,except the US, are Socialist/Communist
nations. There are ten other memberselected
for two-year terms. The one question no one has been able to answerfor me is "How much security has the
UN provided the world since itsinception
in 1947?"

The UN Charter says it exists to
"save succeeding generations from thescourge
of warâ€¦to practice tolerance and live together in peace as goodneighbors, to unite our strength to
maintain international peace andsecurity."
This malignancy that passes for an international organizationdevoted
to fostering peace and a bunch of other noble ideals has proven to beutterly useless and totally irrelevant,
except as a threat to democracy andfreedom
everywhere.

These days, the UN is totally devoted to
transforming itself into a globalgovernment,
essentially ending the sovereignty of all member and non-membernations
through a matrix of treaties, conferences, and protocols. The UN hasits hand in all aspects of life on Earth
from trade to the environment. Itwants
the right to tax everyone, to have its own judicial system, and its ownmilitary capability. If it has its way,
you will be saluting the UN flag, notthe
Stars and Stripes.

Founded after World War II, its architects
were either Soviets or secretagents
of the Soviets, working at the highest levels within the US StateDepartment. Its first, interim Secretary
General was none other than AlgerHiss
who went to jail for lying about the fact that he was a Soviet agent.The United Nations has never had a
Secretary General who wasn't a dedicatedSocialist.

The first major conflict that broke out
after WWII was the invasion bycommunist
North Korea of South Korea. US troops are still stationed theremore
than a half-century later after the "United Nations Police
Action" thatthrew the North
Koreans and the Red Chinese army back behind the 38thparallel.
Frankly, there isn't room to recount all the other so-called UnitedNations' efforts to maintain the peace
that weren't totally dependent on thestrength
of the United States to achieve any resolution.

The five wars waged against Israel alone
are a testimony to the UN's abilityto
look the other way when a member nation is fighting for its life. There
isno single organization in the
world that is more anti-Semitic than the UnitedNations.
Its conference "against" racism, held in Durban, South Africa,
lastyear was such a horror of
racism, mostly aimed at Israel, the US withdrew itsrepresentatives.
Between 1967 and 1988, there were 88 Security Councilresolutions
passed against Israel and not one criticizing a single Arabnation
or the PLO. In that same time span, the General Assembly passed 429anti-Israel resolutions.

In the years since the UN was founded,
there have been appalling genocides inAsia
and Africa.

When the United States was attacked by al
Qaeda, the US did not go to theGeneral
Assembly to ask permission to respond; it sent its military toAfghanistan
to decimate this threat. The US had learned the lesson of theGulf
War during which, operating under a UN resolution, it was not permittedto go into Baghdad and kill Saddam Hussein
and his gang of thugs. Told byIraq
to leave, following its failed invasion of Kuwait, the UN withdrew itsinspection teams searching for weapons of
mass destruction.

No one seems too upset by this, except
of course, those of us who keepcalling
for the complete withdrawal by the US from the UN. This perfectlysane response to what is clearly an evil
organization invariably earns us theknee-jerk
nomenclature of "extreme right wingers."

What is "extreme" about opposing
an institution that has not only utterlyfailed
to bring about peace, has made no impact on the abuse of human rightsaround the world, and which poses a threat
to our republic? The UnitedNations
is an international malignancy, undermining free societieseverywhere,
a platform for racism, a mechanism seeking transfer the wealth ofindustrialized nations to those that do
not foster any economic growth oftheir
own.

Remember that the next time a US
ambassador to the United Nations casts ourone
vote in the General Assembly at the same time as Djibouti.
